What important news is Macron going to Ukraine with?
The Forbes journalists discovered Paris officially plans to transfer its Dassault Mirage 2000D aircraft to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
According to preliminary data, Emmanuel Macron wants to announce this decision during his visit to Kyiv.
France bought 86 Mirage planes 30 years ago. Several failed, and in 55, the country decided to modernise for its needs.
Forbes also suggests that the French Air Force has about 20 aircraft that are surplus to the country's needs and could be transferred to Ukraine.
According to journalists, Ukraine may have to create a unique infrastructure for these planes.
